Jersey Evening Post, July 31, 1941. Every farm was an almost entirely self supporting institution. Things which could not be made at home, boots for example, were paid for in eggs or cider. The modern idea of farming for money was entirely unheard of. You farmed to produce what you and your family needed. The farmer kept a couple of oxen to draw his cart and plough a couple of cows for milk and butter, a fairly large flock of sheep, bred mainly for their wool and milk. His chief form of meat was pork. There were so many pigs in the island ......

The same kind of plough, harrow and every implement of husbandry, used some centuries back, still exist; and though, upon the whole, the lands are clean and tolerably well cultivated, producing excellent crops of every kind, it is to be attributed more to the natural effect of a good soil, and much manual labour, than to any great ingenuity or improved management ..

Within few years, some cows have been brought from the islands of Alderney and Guernsey, for the use of the dairies of gentlemens families. These are a very small ill-made kind of cattle; but they are remarkable for giving milk of a very rich quality, yielding a greater portion of cream, and making more butter from a given quantity of milk, than any other kind of cattle; the butter too is of a beautiful yellow colour, and is highly esteemed for its fine flavour. - An experiment was tried here last summer between a large home-bred cow, of eight years old, and a small Alderney, two years old:The home-bred cow in 7 days, gave 35 gal, which made 10 lb. 3 oz ButterThe Alderney cow, in the same time, gave 14 gal, which made 6 lb. 8 oz. Butter.

He kept a very large stock for twenty years near Brighton, and imported most of his animals, bulls as well as cows, from Jersey, which breed he considered gained the most strength, size, and constitution without losing its characteristics for the dairy, and was better suited to our climate. He adopted the Island method of tethering the cows, and so successful was his management that he was solicited to read a paper on the subject before the London Farmers` Club in 1862. At the Newcastle Royal show his animals were very successfully exhibited". [Thornton, 1879]

FINDON VILLAGE ANTIQUITIES: EDWIN JAMES DOUGLAS ART INDEX [Website by Valerie Martin]. To most Americans, the Channel Islands are associated with the thought of Channel Island cattle. The names Alderney, Jersey and Guernsey bring up memories of the pictures of cows from these islands, painted by Edwin Douglas, and of the well known picture of Alderney Bull, Cow and Calf painted by James Ward.

FUSSELL G E: James Ward R.A. Animal Painter 1769-1859 and his England. Michael Joseph. London. 1974.There is a celebrated painting in the Tate Gallery, London, done in 1822 by the well known English animal painter, James Ward. The picture is called "Landscape with cattle", "Protection", or "An Alderney Bull, Cow and Calf." According to E. Parmalee Prentice [1942] this widely-known painting was sent to America in 1823 and remained here for twenty years. "This picture.... may have helped to make Alderney cattle popular in America, notwithstanding the brindle color of the bull".Dear Hans Norgaard. Thank you for your enquiry concerning our huge picture, Landscape with Cattle 1820-22 by James Ward (N00688), which in its history has been given many titles, including Protection. You wanted to know if this painting went to the USA in 1823 and stayed about 20 years. From the information in our files and Library, I have ascertained the following facts:Painted 1820-22: by 1823 purchased from the artist by his son, George Raphael Ward; 1823 exhibited British Institution (G.R. Ward recorded as owner); ..."exhibited in America"...; 1857 exhibited Manchester, Art Treasures exhibition; ... 1862 exhibited International exhibition; 1862 purchased from G.R. Ward by the National Gallery, London; 1907 transferred to Tate Gallery.It appears that G.R. Ward remained the owner from the picture's completion, c.1822 until its sale to the National Gallery in 1862. We do not have any records of the dates when the picture was in America or where it was exhibited there. But there are several old notes in our files stating that it was `exhibited in America'. However, the loan may not have been until after 1829 as we also have a record that there was an attempt to sell it at Christie's on 29th May 1829 (lot 109) but that it was bought in (ie unsold).Presumably George Ward though he'd make some money by exhibiting it abroad instead. He was certainly very keen to sell it to the National Gallery.There is a version of it in the Nottingham Castle Museum, dated 1837.I am sorry I cannot provide you with any further proof concerning the picture's loan to America. If you need any further information, please get in touch again and I can suggest details of some James Ward literature or other people to contact.Email from Curator Diane Perkins, Tate Gallery, London, dated 9th february 2000

Girardin, MM. J. et E.J. Morière: Excursion Agricole A Jersey. Rouen 1857.In the fall of 1856 the Agricultural Society of the Department of "La Seine Inférieure," in France, deputed two learned members of that society to Jersey, in order to report particularly on the process followed in the manufacturing of cider, and also to collect information on the general system of farming practised. The report appeared in the French language some time after, under the title of "Excursion Agricole à Jersey, par M.M.J. Girardin, Professor de Chimie à l`Ecole Départementale de la Seine Inférieure, et J. Molière, Professor d`Agriculture du Département du Calvados". In giving an account of their visit to Jersey, the writers dwell particularly on the varieties of apples used for cider-making, and the manner in which it is made, and observe that some of the cider which they had occasion to taste was far preferable to anything they had met with in France. On the rotation of crops they say:1st. A great proportion of land is devoted to the cultivation of roots and grass, or what is necessary for the maintenance of cattle.2nd. That only one sort of grain (i.e. wheat) is grown.3rd. That by growing so large a proportion of root-crops the soil receives the greatest possible advantage it can obtain, either in manure from the extra number of cattle kept, or in cleanliness from the great attention which root-crops demand.4th. That the great variety of food given to cattle tends greatly to keep them in a better state of health.5th. That by the system followed, a larger proportion of cattle can be maintained than by that which is followed in the northern departments of France.In conclusion , they speak of the Jersey cow in the highest terms, and admit its pre-eminence for richness of milk over the best of theirs; for whereas in Jersey from thirteen to sixteen quarts of milk are sufficient to make two lbs. of butter, they admit that not less than twenty-eight quarts of milk of their best cows are required to make the same quantity".

Although early reports of the exports of cattle are few, we do know that in 1657 George Poindexter (Poingdestre) and Peter Effard were sending cows to America in small numbers.

Previously the island cattle received little attention, provided they gave plenty of milk, type was not considered. One of the results of this suggestion was that the offspring of good milkers were kept, and a bull was always selected from these heavy milkers.

The farms were at a low level during subsequent reigns due to lack of interest, until Prince Albert raised the farms again to the status of model farms. In 1849, Prince Albert arranged for the pasture land to be stocked with dairy cows, mainly Dairy Shorthorns but also some Jerseys (known contemporarily as Alderney cows), which were the foundation of the existing Jersey herd. The other dairy herd at the Royal Farms is an Ayrshire herd, formed in 1951 in the last year of George VI's reign. Each herd numbers 150 cows. By tradition, the herds have been kept to Jerseys and Ayrshires. Milk was and is still supplied from the Jersey herd to the Dairy (built in 1858 in Windsor Home Park under the personal direction of Prince Albert); while the creamery remains unchanged, the outbuildings have been equipped with up-to-date dairy machinery. The Dairy used to supply not only the Royal family but also a large number of Castle and Home Park residents, but it began to run at a loss. Since 1975, it has supplied dairy produce only to The Queen, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, The Prince of Wales and Princess Margaret; the rest of the milk is sold to a national wholesaler.- Royal Insight - ]

Shebbeare, John: An authentic narrative of the oppressions of the islanders of Jersey : to which is prefixed a succinct history of the military actions, constitution, laws, customs, and commerce of that island London. 1771 .In 1771 John Shebbeare said of the shipment of cows from Jersey to England: The natural productions of this Island (Jersey) are such as will not permit an export, and these are chiefly the Jersey cows, which are esteemed in England for the excellency of their milk. The meaning of the sentence probably is that, although Jersey farmers did not raise cows for the purpose of export, and possibly could not well spare the cows they had raised, nevertheless, sale was necessary, since, as Shebbeare says; ".. the island does not, in the most abundant years, produce by one-third what is sufficient for the bread of the inhabitants, and that deficiency is generally supplied from his kingdom."

In the following year the second volume of the herd book was published and this also contains additional information on the breed in the form of a paper entitled "Jersey Cattle and their Management"; incidentally this paper was originally written by request for the Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society of England and was published in Vol. XVII, 1881.

Watney, Dr. H.: The Jersey Cow.

Dr. Watney started his herd in 1890 and up to 1906 had won more Gold Medals in butter tests than all the other herds of English bred Jerseys combined. He rarely went in for showing in inspection classes, but concentrated all his attention on the maximum production of butter per cow, coupled with regular breeding, strong constitution and freedom from disease. The results he achieved are unique and his record of medals won will stand for a long time - his record is perhaps made all the more remarkable when it is remembered that he strongly objected to and refrained from showing at any show which rendered it necessary for his men to be away from home over a Sunday. Unfortunately Dr. Watney died during the summer of 1932, and a few weeks afterwards his herd was dispersed.
